What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota's suspension?

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Toyota Tundra?

Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Toyota intended.

When does Toyota Tundra power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed?

Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Toyota's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.

What can cause my Toyota Tundra to have a bouncy ride?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Tundra goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.

Why does my Tundra tilt forward when I hit the brakes?

When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.

How do I know if I have worn Toyota Tundra shocks?

Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Tundra feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Tundra travels over minor bumps.

Is It Time For 2006 Toyota Tundra Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2006 Toyota Tundra, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Tundra bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2006 Toyota Tundra in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Toyota Tundra’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Toyota Tundra Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2006 Toyota Tundra’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Toyota up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2006 Toyota Tundra shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Toyota Tundra shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2006 Toyota Tundra suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.
